DIY Pumpkin Bling Bling (Glittering Pumpkins!)

Uncategorized

coverI hate carving jack-o-lanterns.  Like, haaaaaaate it.  I’m pretty sure it’s all because I was the youngest, way youngest, child in my family.  By the time I was old enough to participate in the annual Halloween pumpkin slaying, everyone else was “over it” and there was a noticeable absence of enthusiasm.  Plus, I always got the knife with the blunt tip.

I don’t know if the blunt tip thing was because I was the youngest or because everyone thought I was a frontrunner for the “Ending The Month Of October With Less Fingers Than He/She Began The Month With” award, because in 1998 (when I was a college freshman), my friend Jamie Hardin threw a Halloween party/get-together/mini high school reunion at her house and I got the fucking blunt tipped knife then, too.

Transformation Tuesday: MARCO MARCO Runway Show, LA Fashion Week (Part One)

Drag, Transformation Tuesday

headerI’ve been thinking about scrapping my plans to feature a particular Drag Queen for today’s Transformation Tuesday.  I have queens lined up through the end of 2013, and being the Type A personality I am, I like to stick to the plan and the schedule I’ve created.  HOWEVER…two fantastic things happened.

First, fashion designer Marco Morante of MARCO MARCO trotted out sixteen–yes, 16–captivating Drag Queens to stomp from one end of his runway to the other (plus a beautiful assortment of male models that spanned the ethnicity spectrum and the body/build spectrum).  This all went down on October 16th for L.A. Fashion Week.

Second, after some teaser-like Instagram photos and ho-hum cell phone video clips…WE, THE PEOPLE were gifted with a clear, professional quality clip of the Marco Marco Fashion Show.

I don’t know who was responsible for getting this video into the hands of the people, but I do know it was Birthday Girl Rhea Litré that brought the video to my attention over on Dragbook.  (It’s real.  It’s like an exclusive Facebook for Queens and admirers!)

Thank you, Rhea!  Awe Yeah!  Let’s all take a few moments to watch the video and then discuss it–and why I felt Marco Marco’s amASSment of Queens and his fashion show deserved to be this weeks’ Transformation Tuesday. Click here to read more…

Did He Just Say “Poopie Piñata?” (Halloween Treats Gone Wrong)

Hilarious

I have a somewhat “loose” blog schedule for the next few days, but I HAD to stop everything to post this video.  Here’s why:
1.  These kids are the same age that I used to teach, which means whatever adorable stuff comes out of their mouth automatically quadruples in adorable-ness when it hits my ears.
2.  It’s festive, with Halloween right around the corner.
3.  I don’t know what else I was going to say, because I was interrupted by a phone call which resulted in an emergency trip to A.C. Moore…three hours ago.

I found the video here.  This blog is called Fishful Thinking–check it out!
